@cbgenealogy.ie I see you use beehive. Are you liking it? I've signed up, but haven't used it yet because I still have wp. And, curious — do you find you get more readers with the newsletter w/ links to your blog or emailing the blog post individually?

Hey guys, check out these Irish #familyhistory tips and tricks podcast recommendations. Worth a read & listen!

@danielloftus.projectinfant.ie I Enjoyed your Rootstech presentations #NotatRootsTech. You provide great information, and I appreciate how down-to-earth you are. You don't assume that we understand what you're talking about.

This comment and the amount of likes says it all. Losing allies one country at a time. 😞

Protesters Display Upside-Down American Flag at Yosemite – This resonates across our country.

Good afternoon, #genealogy #genies. Does anyone happen to have the book, Virginia Colonial Abstracts, Series 2? United States: L.O. Duvall, 1951? I am looking for the will listed on the attached image for George Everett and the information it has for him on pg 63.

I think #GenHour is running a bit slow; I noticed around five things popped up at once. Anyway, I’ve decided to give WikiTree another try. I looked at it many years ago, and it seems to have improved since then. I appreciate the safeguards it offers compared to FamilySearch trees.

ABC News reported Marco Rubio has been acting as head of the National Archives for weeks. This is news to everyone at the National Archives, including, apparently, the current head of NARA: www.404media.co/national-arc...

Just submitted ten FOIA requests! The employees of the VA must really be cursing RTR! 😀

I'm absolutely loving this series! So glad @irinashapiro.bsky.social is still writing them as I'm only on book 4. After reading her other series, I found these.

A cautionary tale… (the word king was actually sultan in the original.)

Remarkable that the Canadian Prime Minister has a better understanding of American interests than the US President.

Meanwhile, in Florida…

Okay, #genealogy genies, quick question. There is nothing about it in the Preface of the book. The mention of George Everett as a "transportee." What does that mean? Google refers to someone "banished or sent to the American Colonies as a convict," but I'd like clarification, please.

FS Full Text=Incredibly fascinating. I ran across a 1704 land deed. The beautiful handwriting, the precise legal language, and carefully noted boundary trees and waterways paint such a vivid picture of Colonial American land ownership. Even spec. mining rights, "Royall Mines", excepted of course!

This was a very informative webinar. Check it out if you have colonial roots.

@dlgenealogist.bsky.social Great webinar! Very informative. I love the joint efforts of American Ancestors, FamilySearch, and Legacy, among others.

#genealogy genies, would a land record from 1776 constitute as a secondary source to prove a marriage? It states, "to our honoured Mother late Dorcas Royce now Dorcas Loggan of sd Woodbury as her Dower or thirds in sd Real Estate for her use during her Natural Life."

Did you know that the National Library of Ireland is on Bluesky? bsky.app/profile/nlir...

#GenChat & #Genealogy genies, here is my blog about the story I found in a letter regarding my ancestors. "Their union defied societal norms, blending two distinct cultures in an era resistant to change." #Connecticut #Georgia #NewEchota

#genchat, Need to share my excitement. Gunn Library & Museum sent me a copy of a 2008 letter I found in their dig coll. In it, the writer mentions a story she heard re: the 16th-century Logans. I researched and found the story! A white woman wed a Cherokee Indian & they honeymooned at the homestead.

Ooops, clicked on #GenHour instead of #GenChat!

@andrewredfern.bsky.social , another great webinar! I love how you iterate, "Generate Options, Not Answers."

This is quite the obituary from the Blairsville Daily Courier Blairsville, Pennsylvania • Mon, Aug 5, 1895 Page 1. "He was honest and upright in the highest degree, possessed a rugged and sterling character and abhorred deceit, falsehood or dishonesty of any sort." #genealogy

One of my #genealogy bucket list items after retiring was to attend more webinars. Recently, I joined one titled "Information Overload?..." by Elizabeth Shown Mills & it inspired me to complete an Individual Research Report on my Logan immigrant. It took me a week, but it helped me identify gaps.

#genealogy genies, this page is from R.R. Hinman’s book "...early Puritan settlers of the colony of Connecticut..." Is anyone familiar with it? If so, can you tell me if the men listed under Margaret Carr's listing would be related to her? They are not under a separate heading, so I am curious.

I came across my 6th great-grandfather's will and can actually read it! I enjoy looking through these old wills, this one is from 1777. I found a super interesting entry that mentions "Right in the Southern Publick Library," valued at £4.4.0. He valued education. Isn’t that awesome?

Long ago I was taught to read the whole document as not everything is indexed. (As you genies well know!) Tonight, I found another child of my 6th gg due to her husband's will. It stated that his wife was pregnant. I counted back 9 months and put in the “Abt.” date. Voila! I found their son.

Hello from Florida! I'm a newbie to #genchat but have loved the bluesky genealogy community these past several weeks.

This morning’s post shows why it is important to study the places your ancestors lived. You never know what you, or who, you might find.

This was in a book I read and I thought it pertained to family history, although that’s not what the book was about. #genealogy

I spy some #genealogy (gist) mentions! @genealogyalacarte.bsky.social @danielhorowitz.bsky.social @dlgenealogist.bsky.social @danielloftus.projectinfant.ie and others.

I know a lot of us on here have #genealogy blogs, but with 2024 coming to an end, I thought it'd be nice to take a look back at how it all began for Loganalogy. Happy New Year, everyone!

1/ I read a historical fiction book where a couple inherited the man's father's house. In the attic, they discovered long-buried secrets. What intrigued me most was the wife's insistence on continuing the hunt when the husband was ready to shut it down because it hinted towards Nazis as ancestors.

@drangelabuckley.bsky.social I just finished reading your book, "Amelia Dyer and the Baby Farm Murders." I never considered how "fostering" or "adopting" came about. What a cruel, sinister way to "get rich." It truly made me think. I look forward to my next Victorian Supersleuth Investigates read.

Is there anything more boring that using Tree Checker or the like for errors in your tree? #genealogy Darn rookie mistakes!

1/Another wonderful webinar recording by @digitalarchivst.bsky.social! It's FREE until Nov. 27 if you do not have a Legacy account. "Top Ten AI Genealogy Breakthroughs of 2024" Key points for me: *better words/spelling in images- especially helpful for generating visual family trees.

I may be late to the #genealogoy party, but this is an interesting video by Dana Leeds on how to sort your DNA matches with AI. (🗒️This probably will not work for endogamous populations.🗒️) #AI #DNA youtu.be/tp5DzuLeaN4?...

Thank you for the ancestry chart template, @jernealogy.bsky.social. I plan to expand my chart beyond six generations since it's fascinating to compare it with DNA communities. This will help me identify any gaps and focus my research efforts more effectively. #genealogy #familyhistory

Great work in my hometown! "Griffith and volunteer Megan Coppage have been visiting the woody land for about two months to sift through and clean up what’s left. In snipping down vines and digging up dirt, they discovered many depressions..." #genealogy #cemeteries #FamilyHistory

Woo-hoo, I finally made it to a #GenHour!

What ties together the brilliant mind of William Shakespeare, a mysterious Salem witch, a pioneering settler from the 1600s in Farmington, Connecticut, and the legendary Wild Bill? Read what hidden threads link these diverse characters. loganalogy.com/2024/11/20/w...

My pic from a different era is from the '80s when I still had long hair, a slimmer body, and a tan. My family rented a beach house every summer for many years. Extended family and friends came from all over. Those were the days!

I think this would be interesting for #genealogy as well. This particular post peaked my #gardening interest too. 😁

Years researching: 30 Hobbyist or pro: I play a genealogist at home. (Hobbyist, I guess.😁) Fun fact/Wildest discovery: Finding a connection to the Wright Brothers based on a family legend. My niche/s: Not sure I have a particular place, but digging around online is my thing. But love archives, etc.

This was one of my more popular blog posts. I learned so much just by researching it for #genealogy. loganalogy.com/2024/09/06/t...

I received a DNA match on my Ancestry account about a month ago. 🧬 Although it wasn't a close match, the person's profile resonated with me. She had been adopted at a young age and was eager to learn more about her biological family now that she was married and had young children of her own.
